Description Another secret revealed!
Also apologies for typo's. I don't have a working spellcheck.

If you're looking for more resources for drawing (ponies), check out my other tutorials:


My (poor) explanation on layer clipping: (one but last paragraph)

Q: Will you make a tutorial for PS/gimp/*insert any other program* ?
A: No. I never used any of those and I'm not going to find out for you. Search DA or Google.

secret-pony In reply to Kandy-Cube [2013-03-03 15:03:15 +0000 UTC]

Sometimes other colors can create a nice effect, it's just trial and error every time x3

This tutorial does actually work for PS for the most part. It also has Shade/Multiply I cant remember exactly how it's worded but you can find it somewhere around the layer area. (Just in case any non-sai users want to know, personally I prefer sai too)

This is amazing! Totally didn't realize I had those modes in SAI and they're really helpful when it comes to shading to add extra flare to the image. This is super!
